[Q] strange behaviour after 1 week rooted

Hello guys
I am new to android and to galaxy s. Actually i bought my first android phone 1 week ago, and it is a galaxy s4 gt-i9505
i rooted the phone and everything was fine. After one week, i made a restart of the phone, and it remained stuck on the second logo of samsung.
I did try a hard reset, but nothing changed
I did try to root again the phone with odin, and after it passed the second logo screen, a window in greek language showed off (using google translator basically it tells: updating functions of android application..opening application) and it is stucked there.
Did i bricked my device and nothing can be done?
Please help me
P.S. Can i try to flash my s4 with stock firmware?

[Q] Samsung S4 freezing and reboot after update to 4.3

hello all,
I have recently bought a used samsung s4 ( GT-i9505 ) which was rooted on android firmware 4.2.2 (***MGA) and worked perfectly. When i unrooted and upgraded it on 4.3 ( ***MKF) , the phone suddenly starts freezing and reboot even thought it is in a safe mode! either the sdcard was being unmounted or i wiped data the problem exists! the phone stops responding and reboot! ( No 3rdparty apps is installed )
The producedure which i followed to unroot it and upgraded was:
1.i used triangle away to reset counter
2.i used odin 3.09 to flash the new android which i downloaded from sammobile.com
3.after firmware installation, i made a wipe data/cache
In short, my phone status goes back to "official" and the cpuz utility root status goes back to "no rooted"
Do you have any ideas about the solution? did i make anything wrong in firmware installation?
my phone is going to be useless, it's rebooting every 10-15 minutes.
Please either anyone knows or have any ideas about my issue let me informed making me a comment...
thank you!

Same issue

Dial *#1234# and attach the screenshot :highfive:

Did you factory reset it?if you didn't of course you will encounter problems,also check the rom you downloaded maybe it is not complete or flash a newer version

First do NOT try to downgrade to 4.3. You may brick your ?.
Reset again. If it doesn't help get another 4.4 firmware if you really want 4.4. Or get 5.0

SAMSUNG NOTE 3 SM9005ZSUGOL1 PROBLEM AFTER LOLLIPOP UPDATE via KIES/ SMARTSWITCH

Hi Guys, Please I need your help.
I purchased a used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 N9005 (LTE Hongkong TGY Variant) in the Philippines.
Its is not rooted. Android version still at 4.3 when i bought it.
Tried to update it via OTA at 32% it will fail and then reboot. No changes will be made after the reboot.
I tried to update it via Samsung Kies / Smartswitch it worked.
From Android Jellybean 4.3 , I updated it to Android Lollipop 5 via Kies / Smartswitch.
But........
After the update If i will use or touch a certain application the phone will start to reboot by itself.
This happens very often like every 15 minutes.
The batter drains fast and the device heats up like crazy when i use the camera or i open up a game app then it will reboot automatically.
-Tried to do a soft and hard reset already by pressing volume up, menu key & power of button,
I cleared the cache and wiped user data already. But still nothing has changed.
-Tried to re-update the handset via USB on Smartswitch for Android 5 Lollipop but its still the same.
Here are my Note 3 handset info:
-Handset is from Hongkong(TGY)
-Baseband Version before the update: N9005XXUBMI5 (Android 4.3)
-Baseband Version after the update: N9005ZSUGOL1 (Android 5) ( i provided a screenshot)
-Is it safe to update the phone via Odin 3.10, then get a Firmware from Sammobile then flash it?
-The phone is from Hongkong (TGY), should i choose a Firmware from Hongkong? Or Is it ok to choose a Firmware from the Philippines? since i am here right now.
-Is it okay to downgrade from Android 5 to Android 4.3 or 4.4.2? ( Would you recommend it or no?, others are saying if i have upgraded my handset to the latest android update I cannot go back anymore to a lower Android version, if i do i might encounter problems or worst case i might brick the phone.
-If possible i do not want to root my handset, but if it is needed im willing to do it.
Please guys , i need your expertise on this. I really need your help badly to get my phone on its working state again.
Your reply and tutorials will be much appreciated.
Thank you and more power.
